A Canton man by the name of Mak Kut Cheung was appointed as the coxswain of the launch. It was alleged that the accused was ap pointed to represent the 'Po On Company in Hong Kong, one of his duties being to obtain licences in eluding those necessary for the carrying of arms for defence against pirates. The accused was also to manage the affairs of the Company in the Colony, and he was to receive a salary of 830 a month.
CAPTAIN FINED $250.
Captain Madsen, master of the 1.8. Tai Fook Shing. was fined $250 with the alternative of three months' imprisonment by Comdr. G. F. Hole, R.N., at the Marine Court yesterday morning for bring ing 10 passengers into the port ship's license over the number allowed by the

The captain in this case holds a certificate issued by the Saigon authorities which allows him to carry 450 passengers out of Saigon. I understand that the was recognised until certificate very recently. The authorities at Saigon seem to be unable to unders stand why the same certificate seem to be good for certain ships and "not for ships belonging to owners of other nationalities.

HOW TO KEEP FIT.

One of the most important ques- tions facing an athlete is how to keep himself in condition during the off season. This problem is especially pressing for those who arc in business and have little time for training. One thing is quite certain. More damage is done to Mr. Lo: The master enquired at general health by suddenly "going the Harbour Office and was told out of training" and abruptly the certificate did not hold good for dropping all vigorous exercise than the ship. He was told by the in any other way. Yet this is a Saigon authorities, that it is a good common practice among athletes of one.

order to maintain the high standard of physical fitness that he has set himself. In this matter one can claim support from Professor A. V. Hill, the greatest living authority on the physiology of athletics, and from Albert Hill, the present holder of the British amateur mile record. Both are busy men, who believe in a spell of more or less strenuous physical work every day of their lives, and both by their wonderful good health are them- selves living arguments in favour of their theory.
In speaking of fitness it is neces- sary to be exact as to one's mean- ing. There is both muscular con. dition and also a general state of good health.
